Yeah... No

But more importantly, why do I now have to allow scripts (NoScript user here) from a third party (discourse.org) in order to use the forums? Yet more online tracking. Is it not possible to implement this entirely within the eveonline.com domain?

You’re also making heavy use of remote fonts (blocked by uBlock) which makes the forums look like poodoo if I don’t enable remote fonts (yet another risk vector). RIP web standards.

• Forums are hosted for us by Discourse, as such some of the scripts needed for the forums are delivered via their CDN.
• The remote font CSS and files are on our own CDN

And why does the interface hijack the CNTL-F key to use the in-forum search instead of the browser search? Is there an option to turn it off?

Answered in this post, and no option to turn it off.

Literally unplayable (ctrl+f)

The forum search should pop up on CTRL+F when searching threads that contain posts that haven’t been loaded. Browser search can’t search for contents of posts in the thread if they haven’t been loaded after all. You can switch from forum search to browser search in these topics by hitting CTRL+F a second time.
